Health And Purpose

Health & Purpose Are Divinely Linked

As we finish this year, let’s do it well. December is the month most known for unhealthy food. Sweets dominate the season. But they don’t have to be your choice. You do have a choice, thankfully, even though sometimes it doesn’t feel like it.

This week I was tantalized, not by sweets, but by a pizza—yes a pizza. Our lovely neighbor who shares so much of his food with us gave us a little over half his pizza. He had added a lot of great toppings. It was a cold day. I was hungry. And that pizza looked like one of the best things I’d seen all week.  I fell for the “just one bite” seduction. That bite tasted so great I had one more. Then we popped it in the oven and when it was bubbly hot, I sliced off a sliver of a piece. My husband really did eat most of it. But that little bit had a big effect. I went from feeling great to not-so-good. I didn’t sleep as well that night. And then the next day I was somewhat tired and not as organized. All that affected my purpose.
